Plot[]

Part One: Steve demands to know who Tracy slept with and is gobsmacked when he finds Paula hiding, realising that she is the one in question. Suki takes pictures of an uncomfortable Aggie in the cafe for the Gazette article. Bernie hears who she is and gives the reporter the scoop that Dev has sacked new father Chesney. The kebab shop has run out of supplies as Chesney used to handle that matter. Unable to cope any more, Dev agrees to ask him back. Tracy tries to make excuses for her behaviour, saying she felt neglected, but Steve feels stupid that he's been cuckolded by another woman and refuses to forgive or understand her. Sally tells Tim about the revelation. Tracy tells Steve she felt pushed aside by him and his obsession with Emma but he's not sympathetic. Aggie assures David that things sound good for Shona. Yasmeen isn't entirely sure about her trendy new clothes. Geoff tries to put her off seeing Cathy. Chesney and Gemma argue when Dev rings Chesney to offer him his job back. She reluctantly accepts they can't be too proud, and they have to accept what income they are offered. Tim enjoys telling Kevin about Tracy and Paula. Michael leaves more messages for Grace. Dev and Chesney make up, just before Bernie bursts into the shop with Suki, who starts to question him about the sacking. Dev has had enough and fires Chesney again.

Part Two: Tim and Kevin join Steve for a drink to offer their support. Having been cancelled by Yasmeen, Cathy voices her concerns to Brian about her friend and her supposed obsession with cleaning her house. With few options left to them, Gemma agrees to sign-off Freshco's photo shoot. Paula approaches Steve in the Rovers and apologises for the trouble she's caused. Emma hears her father saying he would punch Paula if she were a man and asks her dad what the matter is. David is grateful for Aggie's help. Michael and James think she ought to return to her vocation. Steve admits to Emma that he does love Tracy and doesn't want to lose her. His daughter advises him to be honest with his wife about how he feels about her. He returns home where Tracy tells him that she feels unloved. Provoked once more, they row again and admit they don't know how to reconcile their differences.
